Bruce what team are you playing with this year. You say if the easton hit well or not. I pre ordered me a 28oz. I have a 30oz. Legit since Dave V. said the the legit swings a little light. I really like the Legit.

Hi Joe, I checked the swing weight of a 26 and 27 Legit as well as a 27 and 28 Easton. If I remember correctly the 26 was around 15.1, the 27 around 15.5 while the Easton 27 was something like a 16 and the 28 Easton about 16.4. I'm sure I am off on those figures but my point is that the Easton's swing weights were almost an ounce more than the Legits.
I'm playing with The Edge/Crystal Pharmacy though not in Myrtle Beach.

Also swung the new 27oz Easton Elder for the second time today with playr25 he has around 175 cuts on it and it still seems pretty stiff.It is getting better.. not sure how many more swings before it is broke in.We were using 44/375 balls.Also this bat has a smaller knob like the Melee.

I did a comparison using a 2-pc 27 oz miken U2 end loaded with approx. 20 swings on the bat, a well broke in 2-pc 27 oz miken U2 balanced and the new Easton Elder 27oz balanced with approx. 75-100 swings. The balls we used were well used classic m various brands and a few baden fire balls. I hit 2-ea. rounds with 30-40 balls in two five gallon buckets rotating the bats during the round. 1st end loaded U2, Easton the Balanced U2. I am no expert but the Easton is already hitting as far as the U2's and I feel Easton has a WINNER with this bat as long as it holds up and time will tell. When I first got the bat it felt like a log and it is getting better with more swings. Hope this info helps.

King 44 I guess I've been lucky so far. It took me over 125 swings to break in. Don't know how many hits I have on it now. I guess between 140 too 160 swings. Not broke in enough to hit the ssusa stote ball. My legit and barrage hits this ball the best. Don't plan on bringing the elder to the Mobile tournament this weekend but plan on using it at the SPA tournament in Pensacola.
